Patients for Patient Safety Canada is offering an interactive webinar for patient/family representative in programs, groups, networks and/or organizations working to improve quality and safety in health care at any system level.
Designed by patient/family champions for champions this interactive webinar is offered by the World Health Organization Patients for Patient Safety Programme in partnership with Patients for Patient Safety Canada. For this session the term patient safety champion includes any individual that volunteers as a patient/family representative in programs, groups, networks and/or organizations working to improve quality and safety in healthcare. The session is designed to allow for conversation among participants, so be prepared to contribute to the dialogue verbally or via chat.
This interactive session will explore leading patient- and family- centred practices and delve into 3 of these interrelated practices - family presence and participation in care (open visitation); bedside transfer of accountability; and the use of whiteboards – through first-hand experience from one organization, Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance.
